I bought a championship Orc 167 today and also a pro beast 170. So far I really like the champ orc and it flies farther for me. I pretty much used the Orc all day and will most likely be going to buy one more or so :D

<i>1. Get a Stable Driver. Maybe something like a Discraft XS or an Innova Sidewinder. These two discs will give you a very easy "S" curve or a nice and straight drive that should give you a lil more yardage. A Wraith is very overstable and a cyclone is as well, if it is not beat in. You are new at the game, you are not supposed to be using a Wraith.</i><br />

The Sidewinder is very understable right out of the gate...in my bag it's a roller. It is a great disc for a new player who hasn't yet developed the power to throw stable plastic. well, homie

It takes time. You have to work and work at it. I can throw 300-350 easy. I can bomb 400-450.<br />
300 and under I primarily use a Roc (midrange). But here are some tips that may help:<br />

2. Your arm strength is important but what is even more important is your wrist and the snap you are giving the disc when you release it. I believe the wrist rotation gives the speed of the disc while the snap when you release will give the disc more rotation speed. These two factors, from what I gather, are key to getting more distance.<br />
<br />
3. Practice and patience is very important. Just keep at it. Go into an open field and continuously throw all your discs as far as you can back and forth until your arm is numb. But remember to warm up first and stretch... do not go out there and just start or you are going to pull something... trust me. practice, That's about it.

practice, That's about it. I bombed 350 the other day and about a month ago 300 was my longest. a year ago it was at 250. Just keep working.

Well... not that I can <i>crush</i> shots like some of the big guns... I've only been throwing for 5 months.... but when I first started I was about that distance now I'm about 300-320 and getting better. I watched every video out there (and still do), looked up every article wrote about distance (and still read them) and talked to anyone who I could stop on the coarse.<br />

The most important thing is form, form is everything. Form lets the little guy throw with the monster arms. Make sure you work on every little thing that is involved in the throw; Grip, foot placement, pull back, shoulder placement, twist, SNAP, follow through, balance. I work on these things <u>every day</u>... wrist, hand and forearm work outs, medicine ball workouts.. and throw everyday. I get out 6 day a week for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours everyday.
